Eva Dixon b. 2000 Waratah, Australia lives and works in London, United Kingdom. Dixon takes the persona of a ‘mad-scientist’, investigating materials and subverting their purpose to fit a need within the work. Most recently this has taken the form of sheer polyester assemblage stretched over re-constructed stretcher bars. The geometric forms in Dixon’s work are pulled from construction, mirroring the appropriated materials the artist uses such as electrical shrink tubing, paracord and recycled wooden pallets. In doing this Dixon blurs the lines between painting, sculpture and craft whilst investigating how the relationship between opacity and transparency can expose the structure and surface as one. Dixon’s use of stable and unstable materials leaves the work in a constant tension, offering a site to question making process and the binaries between labours.
